hitches for 5th wheels
can anyone teach me about hitches for 5th wheels. I purchased a Silverback 33il today and need to purchase a hitch for my 2500 6.6 Duramax HD truck. What should I know about them so I buy the right on...

This is great info! We are getting ready to buy a fifth wheel. The dealer said even though we have a short bed f250 diesel he recommended a regular 16k husky. I thought we needed a slider with our short bed..... What do you experts say please?
Thank you,

Do you have a short bed or a standard bed? A short bed is aproximately 5', a standard bed is aproximately 6.5', and a long bed is aproximaely 8'.
If you have a short bed you would definitely need a slider hitch. If it's a standard bed it's up to you. I heve a standard bed and never have needed a slider.
6.5' = short bed
8' = long bed
Those 5' things shouldn't even be called a bed...
